Deck the Halls (and Cards!) with Eyelet Outlet Brads and Bling!

Hello, crafty friends! Are you ready to add some serious sparkle and charm to your last minute holiday cards? Today, I'm excited to share a recent creation that’s bursting with festive cheer, all thanks to some amazing embellishments from Eyelet Outlet. If you love brads, bling, and a touch of vintage flair, you’re in for a treat!

For this card, I wanted to create a rich, traditional holiday feel with a bit of a whimsical twist. I started with a striking red background, which I embossed with a beautiful poinsettia pattern. This instantly adds texture and depth, making the red pop even more.

Next, the star of the show - the Christmas tree! I cut a classic tree shape and then went wild with the bling, carefully trimming it with five different colors of gorgeous gems. They cascade down the branches like sparkling garland, catching the light beautifully.

Strip Bling - Clear, Blue, Purple, Red and Orange
12mm Stippled Jewel Brads
Snow Couple Brads

Gathering Wood

Winter is here and that means it is time to bundle up

some wood for the fireplace. This outdoor scene has a 
a winter look due to the great winter washi tape that
Eyelet Outlet sells. For this card I layered the washi
tape and added some hills at the bottom.

To continue the outdoor look I added fun snowmen brads
 and tree brads from Eyelet Outlet

Happiest of Holidays!

 Hello EO fans! I'm here with a holiday card for you today. I'm in full holiday mode already and I'm having a blast making these for my Christmas card mailing next month. It'll be here before I know it!

This is a window card. There is a circle cut into the middle of the card base. Inside I placed green cardstock. I then used a decorative circle die to cut out the argyle patterned paper. Next I used a punch to cut out the white scalloped circle. I then used Glitter Star Washi Tape to cover a white square of cardstock. I punched this with a circle punch and glued it to the white scallop.

Now for the embellishments! I used a Sled Brad and Snow Couple Brad in the circle. I added a Sayings Bubble Brad that says Let it Snow. I put the completed white scallop in the middle of the green window with double-sided foam tape. Finally I added Snowflake Bling as the final touch.

 Today's card entitled, "JOY", is designed not only to bring a smile to your face during this holiday season, but can also be a card that uses up leftover supplies!

 

The JOY sentiment uses the Eyelet Outlet Gold Glitter Washi Tape and the Diamond Press JOY die.  Next is the pleasant discovery of leftover Christmas paper scraps:  flocked holly paper along with green embossed suede paper.  The last supply search is checking out the Eyelet Outlet holiday brads (listed below) I had available; there were only one of some and only a small quantity of others.  

It is now time for the card assembly.  Some Brads are placed on the JOY sentiment while others lined up on either side of the sentiment.  The Red Glitter Washi Tape is cut in half and placed at the top and bottom of the middle green strip.  

Take a moment to visit the Eyelet Outlet site and explore all of the brads, bling, and more and determine what items you can use on your JOY card!

Eyelet Outlet Supplies Used:

Gingerbread Brad, Snowman Couple Brad, Red Glitter Washi Tape, Nutcracker Brad, Santa Hat Brad, Holiday Light Brad, Pine Tree Brad, and Holly Brad.

A Trio of Couples

Nothing's cuter than a happy couple, especially if we're talking about a COUPLE of Eyelet Outlet Brads, dressed up for the holidays; like Santa and Mrs. Claus, Mr. and Mrs. G. Bread, or our sweet Snow Couple!

The other day I came across a set of tiny shaped tag dies I bought in January and realized I had not yet used them?! My first thought was that ATC's would be the perfect size, and that I should start with the Snow Couple. A background of blue paper with polka dots seemed like a tiny snowscape and I love this woodgrain cardstock for extra texture. I added a strip of Pink Checked Tape and solid pink Skinny Tape to represent the strong vertical line of the sketch.

Santa and Mrs. Claus are probably the most famous Christmas couple, and the heart of the North Pole. I rotated the sketch and added Heart Washi and Red Stripe Foil Tape this time.

The Gingerbread Brads are the newest in the EO line-up, but they're very sweet... in every sense! This time I flipped the sketch and paired them with Poinsettia Tape and Skinny Striped Washi.

ATC's are always fun to make and swap; OR you can build them into the focal point of a bigger tag or card. And there's definitely an Eyelet Outlet Brad to suit every taste!

Ready Set Snow

NOTE:  The six-card series is temporarily paused to create the Christmas in July cards and will continue in August 7th.

Today's card entitled "Ready Set Snow" is part of the Eyelet Outlet Christmas in July cards.

When I think of the holidays, I definitely remember the snow globes we had as kids and how fun they were.  This card uses a stamp set by Lawn Fawn that's from a couple of years ago, however, it's used today with a new twist---Eyelet Outlet Brads, Bling, and Pearls!  That's right, think about pulling out older stamp sets and giving them a new look with the addition of brads, bling, and pearls.

In this case, the snow globe is adorned with the Eyelet Outlet Snow Couple Brads, Pine Tree Brads,  Clear Jewel Bling, and Pearl Bling Strips.  The "Ready Set Snow" stamp and die set make this card easy to create and the brads and bling make it even faster!  Give it a try!

Eyelet Outlet Supplies used include:

Snow Couple Brads 

Pine Tree Brads

Clear Jewel Multi Size Bling

Red Jewel Bling Strips

Pearl Bling Strips

Take a good look at your stamp and die collection and start creating with your Eyelet Outlet stash.  You'll be surprised at what you can create!  Also head on over to the Eyelet Outlet site to check out the Holiday-related Brads, Bling, and more!
